“The right photograph, when viewed on a grand scale, completely transforms the experience,” said Peter Johnson, founder of Captured. “That’s the idea, to engage more people in the singular power of the photograph as contemporary art. Our goal is to facilitate that process by selling only big, commanding work, framed and ready to hang, at a fair price.”
The photographs are hand-selected, printed on Hahnemühle paper, embossed with the Captured seal and date-stamped. Each print is framed in a white, handcrafted, solid wood museum shadowbox. All images are priced between $1,752 and $2,952 and include at seasons end, a journal of all 52 images and the story of each, from the pen of the photographer.
"Captured is introducing a new concept, from the way photography is presented and sold to consumers, to the collective participation among its photographers," said Senatori. "Whether customers are veteran collectors or new to art buying, the straight-forward approach enables the power of the photo to do the work and speak for itself. I'm excited to be part of it and it's an honor to kick off the first season."
